Most think of a one time or multi-year cash contribution when donating to a non-profit.  However there are many creative and potentially financially advantageous ways to give to Colorado Youth at Risk.  One way is to donate an appreciated asset like stock, mutual funds or Real Estate.  You the donor receive a tax deduction for the full current market value of the appreciated asset AND you avoid the capital gains tax on that asset.  Another way to give is to name Colorado Youth at Risk as a beneficiary or partial beneficiary on a Life Insurance Policy. 

There are many ways to structure a gift like this so please consult with a legal or estate planning professional.  For more questions on how to creatively give to CYAR, call or email Jon Roberts at 303-623-9140 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
